About Me

I'm a stay-at-home mother of two. Despite the insanity of my life, I always find time to read...it is my outlet and my passion. I also love to cook and appreciate a good glass (or bottle) of wine. If you would like to contact me, my e-mail is rnawrot@cfl.rr.com.

Continuing on with my lighthouse series of Wordless Wednesdays, here is another one we found, this time on Cape San Blas, in the panhandle. Yes, it is another skeletal one, but I've become quite fond of them! I wish I had been able to get behind it, to show the beautiful coastal view. Half the fun in photographing these lighthouses in the panhandle are finding them...it is like hunting for hidden treasure!

Melody - yeah, I know. As you can see, there are woods pretty close to the backside of it, and I couldn't get the right angle to get the whole lighthouse in the picture. Suffice it to say, you could almost throw a rock from the lighthouse to the water, and that section of coast is undeveloped...no houses, no nothing.

ds - I think that lighthouse engineers felt this style of structure held up better to the hurricanes. I'm not sure that they actually did, because most of them have been ravaged, moved, restored or rebuilt, similar to the solid ones.
